The original building of East Park School in the Maryhill area of Glasgow. The blonde building with the bay wndows is part of the converted cottage where William Mitchell founded the East Park Home for Infirm Children in 1874, while the tower seems to be a later addition. Over 150 years later and the site has greatly expanded, but East Park is still providing education and care to children with complex learning requirements.
Love all the gables on this Victorian villa on Sandbank Street in the Maryhill area of Glasgow. It was originally the parsonage for the neighbouring St George's Episcopal Church, which has since been demolished.

Former Soldiers' Home on Maryhill Road in Glasgow. Designed by Malcolm Stark and Rowntree, and built opposite the Wyndford Barracks in the 1890s, it served as a respite house for soldiers and their wives. For a small fee, soldiers could rent a quiet room in this building, and newly wed ones could spend their honeymoon night there. This photo was taken a couple of years ago, and it has largely been lying empty since then.

I love a set of windows which climb a wall with the internal stairs! These are on a former church in the Maryhill area of Glasgow.

This plaque has been around for a while, but I passed it a few times while training for last weekend's Great Scottish Run, and it always makes me smile when I do, so I thought I'd post it again. It's on a wall beside the Maryhill Locks in Glasgow.

The original site of the foundry became the Phoenix Park in 1891, with the aim of providing a recreational space for the people lving in the crowded tenements of the Cowcaddens area of the city. The park was lost when the M8 motorway was built in the 1970s.

A Phoenix rising from the flames on the side of Maryhill Community Central Hall in Glasgow. This mural commemorates the Phoenix Ironworks, which was established at 52 Queen Street by Thomas Edington in 1797. It later moved to Garscube Road near the Central Hall, where they specialised in making ornamental ironwork.
